All Volvo 2014 engines fully comply with the latest EPA mandates. This means all regulated pollutants have been reduced by 99% from untreated levels. Yet Volvo meets these demands with outstanding reliability and fuel economy. This is because we use a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system designed for the highest efficiency. Which allowed us to pursue a passive regeneration concept that uses NOx in place of diesel fuel to regenerate the soot, further reducing your cost of operation.

high-efficiency aftertreatment system

Volvo’s 2014 engines include high-efficiency aftertreatment systems that save you fuel and reduce maintenance.

For example, our SCR catalyst has a full 40˝ between the point of introduction of the Diesel Exhaust Fluid and where it meets the catalyst. This allows for the DEF to fully and completely convert to ammonia.

More importantly, our SCR catalyst has three bricks where others have two. This added capacity allows a greater catalyst efficiency, which enables our No-Regen strategy. We can adjust the EGR flow rate down while still eliminating all of the NOx in the catalyst. This allows us to deliver better fuel economy.

D16 drivetrain recommendations

It is critical to specify the truck properly to achieve maximum fuel economy and performance.

Ask your salesman to help you choose a rear axle ratio appropriate for your expected cruising speed and gross combination weight.

Volvo 2014 engines have been designed to achieve maximum fuel economy by cruising at low engine rpm. In D16 line haul specifications, the target is 1375 rpm at 65 mph.

For example, with 80K lbs GCW, 1850 lbs-ft torque, 295/75R22.5 drive tires and 0.74 top gear ratio, the 3.36:1 axle ratio would come closest to the 1375 rpm at 65 mph recommendation.

With 0.78 ratio transmission, you should use a 3.21:1 ratio for the same rpm at 65.

Never specify an EPA ’10 Volvo engine for a cruise speed above 1600 rpm.

Eliminates Active (oxygen-based) DPF Regenerations and the diesel fuel usage they require, for lower cost of operation

Available “Early Upshift” software encourages progressive shifting

Lower total engine revs; better fuel economy

Available I-VEB engine brake —strongest in class engine brake at cruise rpm Exceptional retardation at the rpm you drive

Volvo D11, D13, D16 share common design philosophies throughout the family

More thorough component development assures better design and evaluation

Rigid deck cylinder head with six headbolts around each piston; 31 in total

Headbolt arrangement designed for uniform clamping force for long life

Ultra-high 35,000 psi fuel injection pressure Finer fuel atomization for cleaner burn, reduced emissions and better fuel economy

Damper on camshaftReduced injection system generated torsional vibration and high frequency “buzz,” for longer component life

Precision-Flow Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation with Delta-P sensor for accurate EGR measurement

Together with accurate turbocharger and EGR valve, this closed-loop system is tuned to give just the EGR flow needed, no more, no less, for optimum fuel consumption

Oil-Cooled EGR valve with dual port design

Consistent temperature and accurate flow; balanced pressure design with reduced opening force for high reliability and stick resistance

Available I-VEB engine brake-strongest in class engine brake at cruise rpm Exceptional retardation at the rpm drive

I-VEB intelligently modulated the engine brake power for “downhill cruise: to maintain a steady vehicle speed during descent
